ANOTHER DAY

A nice late sunny September day.  Pheebs and I took Scooter out for a run over to Holmesville and back.  A short walk to the Park's pond this afternoon looking for a few photos and that about sums it up for another day.

AAA  GROANER'S CORNER:(( A wife went to the police station with her next-door neighbor to report that her husband was missing. The policeman asked for a description.  She said, "He's 35 years old, 6 foot 4, has dark eyes, dark wavy hair, an athletic build, weighs 185 pounds, is soft-spoken, and is good to the children."  The next-door neighbor protested, "Your husband is 5 foot 4, chubby, bald, has a big mouth, and is mean to your children."  The wife replied, "Yes, but who wants HIM back?"

==================

IT IS JUST THE SIMPLE REALITY OF THE SITUATION

 SPOTTED THIS FELLOW TODAY ON AN INTERESTING LOOKING WATERCRAFT

Nice to have our fine September mornings back again after this latest short spate of cloudy skies and rain.  Needed a few prescriptions filled so after our walk we headed on over to Goderich.  Watched a guy with a para-sail riding some kind of a water device along the shoreline of Lake Huron. (I looked it up and it's called a Sabfoil)  As it turns out, these photos were the only ones I took today.

 IN HIS LEFT HAND HE IS CARRYING A SABFOIL AND WITH HIS RIGHT HAND HE IS HANGING ON TO A PARA-SAIL

LOOKS LIKE HE IS ABOUT READY FOR TAKE-OFF

 AND THERE HE GOES

 'LOOK MA, ONE HAND'

 OOPS, SO MUCH FOR THE ONE HANDER

We were home before 11 and I later mowed some grass and got a few more outside things taken care of before late October's colder wet weather sets in next month.  In my world, it's important to get things done when I feel like doing them because if I wait too long they may not get done at all.  I wasn't always like that but I sure am like that now.

 HE'S UP AND AWAY AGAIN

 HANGING ON WITH BOTH HANDS THIS TIME

 OH-OH LOOKS LIKE HE IS HEADING FOR A FACE PLANT

KER-SPLASHO!!

 I THINK HE IS EYEING HIS OPTIONS

Pheebs and I again slipped out into the countryside for an evening walk.  I've pretty much given up on our afternoon walks ever since most of the Park's forest trails have been needlessly destroyed.  What a mess!!  

 OKAY, HERE WE GO AGAIN

 BACK TO THE ONE-HANDER CAPER

 'YA-HOOIE MA'

Of course the Canada/U.S. Border closure has again been pushed back another month to October 21rst.  With the record-breaking Covid numbers at the level they are now and no relief in sight in the U.S. I have pretty much given up any and all thoughts of heading to the American southwest this winter.  I am not being pessimistic or thinking negative, it is just the simple reality of the situation.  We'll be spending another gray winter in the windy cold days of ice and snow:((   

 I THINK THIS FELLOW MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CROSS BETWEEN BATMAN AND ZORRO

GROANER'S CORNER:((   Two old friends met for the first time in several years. They had a good talk and one asked, "Is your wife still as pretty as ever?"  "She sure is," the other replied. "It just takes her longer."

Then he is finished.

A young and foolish pilot wanted to sound cool on the aviation frequencies. So, this was his first time approaching a field during his night flight. Instead of making any official requests to the tower, he said: "Guess who?"  The controller switched the field lights off and replied: "Guess where?"

SINCE WAY BACK IN 1944

Well, if it wasn't for a few photos I wouldn't have much to offer in the way of a blog post again tonight  Pheebs and I were out and about for about an hour this morning.  Home again I worked away at trying to clean up some of the clutter that comes from living in one spot too long.  We've been here nearly 19 years now and we have accumulated way too much stuff.  In fact, this is the longest I have ever lived in one place since way back in 1944 when I first started out.  Kelly called this afternoon to say her Mother's conditioned has noticeably deteriorated this past week.

 A FEW MILD SPLASHES OF LATE SEPTEMBER COLOR

 FARM MACHINERY PARKED AND READY TO ROLL OUT FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING

 LOTS OF PUMPKINS AND GOURDS APPEARING AT THE END OF FARM LANES THESE DAYS

GROANER'S CORNER:((   Two men got out of their cars after they collided at an intersection. One took a flask from his pocket and said to the other, "Here, maybe you'd like a nip to calm your nerves."  "Thanks," he said, and took a long pull from the container. "Here, you have one, too," he added, handing back the whiskey.  "Well, I'd rather not," said the first. "At least not until after the police have been here."

My friend is making an absolute fortune by selling pictures of salmon dressed up in human clothes.  It’s like shooting fish in apparel.

A Farmer walked into an attorney's office wanting to file for a divorce.  The Attorney asked, "May I help you?"  The Farmer said, "Yea, I want to get one of those dayvorce's."  The Attorney said, "Do you have any grounds?"  The Farmer said, "Yea, I got about 140 acres."  The Attorney said, "No, you don't understand, do you have a case?"  The Farmer said, "No, I got a John Deere."  The Attorney said, "No, you don't understand, I mean do you have a grudge?"  The Farmer said, "Yeh, I got a grudge, that's where I park my John Deere."

NOT MUCH GOING ON TODAY

 AN OLD PICNIC TABLE IN THE WOODS ALONGSIDE A COUNTRY ROAD

Pheebs and I had ourselves a sunny Friday evening walk and luckily we were able to get in our Saturday morning stroll before the rain started.  Skies finally began clearing by late afternoon and I was able to slip out into our front yard for a few flower photos.  

 NO NOT A FLOWER BUT A BLUE LIGHT BULB UNDER A PLASTIC GLOBE SITTING ON THE GROUND

With a nice late September evening happening Pheebs and I headed out for a walk and a short Jeep ride to enjoy another mighty fine country sunset.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A Redneck Guy finds a lamp. He rubs it and a Genie emerges. The Genie tells him he will be granted three wishes. The Guy thinks for a moment and says, 'First, give me a bottomless bottle of beer.'  A bottle of beer appears in his hand. He sips it once, then again and the bottle is magically refilled. The Guy is thrilled and continues to drink. The mug never empties.  Then the Genie says, 'And what about your other two wishes?'  The guy thinks for a moment and says, 'Give me two more bottles just like this one!'
